Well, the strains that I listed are in the Sanofi Quadrivalent vaccine that is most popular in Europe (and being administered right now) as far as I know...

Yeah, influenza type B 'Yamagata' has been mostly gone since 2020, but that's not necessarily because of COVID, but just because the virus is so variable. In fact, it's highly unlikely for an influenza sub-type to hang a

Yeah, I don't get these articles (with this one being pretty similar in tone to the 'Hetzner is 4x cheaper than AWS' one I saw on here earlier today). If all you need is simple compute and bandwidth, and you can spare the r

There are definitely signs: https://www.naturepl.com/stock-photo-baboon-warning-sign-cap... But, as with most situations, "let's put up a sign" somehow didn't resolve the issue...

Thanks for your detailed explanation of where I went wrong. Correcting non-native speakers on their mis-use of fringe vocabulary sure feels good, doesn't it?

"Leaned behavior" to me means that they previously saw other, non-baboon, groups rob tourists in the same way, which seems unlikely? This feels more like a situation where the baboons realized that "these humans have yummy st

Worst gang-like behavior of animals I every saw was, like, a decade ago at the Cape Point parking lot in South Africa. This a relatively large lot (being at the round-turn point of a one-way route), with both personal vehicles and tour buss

Counterpoint: possibly OpenBSD doesn't really have any relevant 'kernel processes' (in line with the model: the kernel is there to serve user-mode, and not a goal on its own). (And tangentially: why do I need multiple `psimon

Sure, why not: https://openbsd-ps-vs-coreos.tiiny.site/ In fact, OpenBSD has gotten a lot more verbose over the years, due to sub-processes being listed explicitly. Good example here is `smtpd`, but even then, the differenc

So, the article seems to be mostly about desktop usage, but for me, the best way to show off OpenBSD is to just run `ps ax` after a clean install, and compare that to, say, Fedora CoreOS (just because that happens to be the other common OS

Sure... "bankrupt-adjacent company with vaguely hard-coded cloud dependencies inconveniences their customers" is a story we've seen many times in the past already, and will continue to see uncountable times in the future, mos

Yeah, but I'd call that 'remnants of El Torito'? You basically have tooling to burp out the MBR, boot catalog and UEFI FAT32 shim, all pointing at the native code that can read your actual (very-much-non-ISO9660) file syste

by PreInternet01 2y ago
What a strange article. What's called an 'ISO' is, these days, pretty much a thin wrapper for an UDF file system -- you can definitely use it differently as well, but I'm pretty sure nobody has created, say, an ISO9660

So, for a test PDF I just created in Microsoft Word (Insert/Table, 3 header columns, 3 data rows, then apply formatting to reflect this), it worked pretty decently indeed. Not sure about the business model or anything else, but from a

No, I'm pretty sure this check was only done when the (root) directory needed to be accessed, which was on the same track as the boot sector, so reading it (which was required for synchronization anyway) was free. Glancing at https:&#

Very well-written analysis with factual support for three main points about this kind of attack: it's entirely feasible, it's cheap, and it's virtually undetectable. And the devastating effectiveness has just been live-demons

PerSourcePenalties-like abuse mitigations are not very subtle, but often very effective. My own experience with this is not as much with SSH as with SMTP. If your particular IP emits a single non-deliverable message every 30 minutes or so

Well, I'm not a native English speaker, but I'm pretty sure that in "UnlawFulLy" the capitals don't represent pronunciation stress points? Those would look more like "uNlawfullY", right?

It is how Sentry used to work, though, and if you want to forward me the emails proving that, just supply me with your work email. Good to hear that things changed, though: for me, it's a bit late, but, hey, I'm not your target
